Baby bump and Achievements in October

This October Aaron left CID and went back to the 230th. For his time as a driver he received the Col's coin and an Army achievement medal. They look so nice and it was his first "official" coin.

 

In other news, the baby bump continues to grow ...We can't wait for December so that we can see little Jensen and have Christmas with both our little guys!!

Baby Swinging

Before Caleb's haircut we brought up Jensen's swing and bouncy seat hoping Caleb would get all of his curiosity out before it was time to keep out of them for good. He thought it was fun to sit in the seat and watch tv and since he couldn't get up into the swing I wasn't really too worried about it. A couple days later I walked in to see what he was up to and found him like this ...

He though it was so funny. He sat there while it I took a video of him kicking off of the dresser so he could rock from side to side.

Caleb's Haircut

So I'm a bit late with this. Caleb got his hair cut 9.15.2010 for the first time by daddy. We got a little fed up with hearing about what a "pretty little girl" we had (not to mention it was getting dirty looking and he sweat a lot) so we buzzed it all off. I was so sad to see it go but I'm sure it feels loads better for him. I nearly cried when Aaron was doing ... he went from baby Caleb to a big boy. Below are the photos of the actual cutting ...

He actually didn't fuss too much. Just sat in the sink brushing his teeth with his brush. Looked up a couple times probably wondering what the heck daddy was doing and why there was hair all over the place. He looks so big now. Good thing we are having #2 because I would have gotten the baby blues after this :)

Messy Messy

This is the THIRD time Midas has gotten ahold of a marker and chewed it up, where else, but on my brand new gold rug. I'm extremely mad at him. This time, instead of finding a red one, he decided on blue. Appearently blue doesn't come out quite as well as red so the rug has a lovely blue tint to it.

This was AFTER I used a cleaner to get it out ... I've tried a few more times but I can still see it. Sigh. Not only is it on the rug, but also on Midas ...

Castle Hike

Sunday we took another hike up to the castle and had a picnic. Caleb didn't want to eat the eggsalad sandwiches we made so he snacked on cheetos and ran around in the field for the most part.

There were a few other couples up there and Caleb thought he needed to tell everyone to "shhhh" for some reason.

On the way back down the hill Caleb thought it was so much fun for Aaron to drag him across the ground. He would hold on to daddy's leg until he gave in and did what he wanted.

Learning the Internet

Caleb has always liked the laptop. He'll stand at it and wait for the fish screensaver to come on and then try to touch them on the screen (he thinks the laptop is like the touch screen monitor at the BX that has a program with fish that swim away when you touch the water). Saturday I sat him on the couch with Aaron and looked back to see him "typing" on the computer. He thought he was the coolest kid ...

Yummy Yummy

While Aaron was TDY last week Caleb and I took a trip to the mall to grab a couple things. While we were up there we picked up some chinese for dinner since I didn't really feel like cooking for just us. I got Caleb his own eggroll, since he ate half of mine the last time we got chinese, and we headed back home to enjoy them. He LOVED it and ended up eating almost the entire thing. I kid you not when I say he left maybe an inch or 2 behind.
